Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has announced it is switching to a brand-new zero emission, electric bus service.
Starting this month, the buses will replace an existing route that operates between the Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour in Leavesden and Watford Junction train station. The company added its move to e-buses means over 264 tonnes of CO2 a year will be saved from entering the atmosphere.
Geoff Spooner, SVP and general manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, said: ‘’We’re delighted to have made the move to fully electric shuttle buses for our visitors and staff at the Studio Tour as part of our commitment to sustainability. The electric buses will be free for all visitors with a valid Studio Tour ticket for the day of travel.’’
National Express Transport Solutions is partnering with EV fleet and battery storage firm Zenobē to operate a fully electric fleet of buses for the shuttle service.
Tony Lawman, managing director, National Express Transport Solutions, added: “Buses are already one of the cleanest ways to travel so existing and new passengers can relax knowing that they are doing their bit for the planet if they leave the car at home and travel on this service.
“This partnership demonstrates our leadership in sustainable transport and is another step to achieving our commitment for our bus fleet to be solely zero emission by 2030.’’
According to Zenobē, it delivered the infrastructure on time without disturbing day-to-day operations at the venue.
